You there! Quick! Do you want to play in the Guild Wars 2 beta? Well then, stop your lollygagging, pull your breeches up, and march yourself to the enlistment office sharpish, as signups are open for a 48-hour window.

The beta signup site will direct you to download a tool to scan your PC's hardware, to see if you match what developer ArenaNet's looking for, so you'll want to do this on your gaming mega-spiffo-ultra-rig rather than your grinding work PC.

While there's no indication of when signing up may get you into the beta, or any guarantee that you will at all, ArenaNet previously said that it planned to "aggressively ramp up" testing in March and April.

Guild Wars 2's beta signups will close on Friday, so get your form in while you can. The subscription-free MMORPG is set to launch some time this year.

        I was getting a network error on my laptop (wireless) but it worked perfectly on my PC (wired).. could be coincidental but there was only a 30 second gap between attempts and they both use the same internet connection. Keep trying!

      I think I've signed up for a beta for some games before but none that I can actually remember. I always see people saying "Oh, I got into the XYZ beta" but I figured they just knew someone, who knew someone, who blew someone or something.

      But this I hope to actually get in on. I really liked GW.

        I have signed up for over a dozen and I think I've gotten in to maybe three.
